How would we have an idea of when this would be fixed if cyanogen doesn't give etas. Were in the same boat as you waiting for a fix. Cm hasn't come in here and told us anything about his progress nor why would he because that's basically like giving an eta, everyone knows its broken and it will be fixed when its fixed, what more do you want? And no it's not a valid question. Once you figure out cm knows about the problem you should have no more questions otherwise they will sound like etas
[EVO 4G General] wrapkgb:
No it didn't. :)

not sure if this is happening on anyone else's phone but my gps is not working. plus does anyone know when cm8 is going to be out? or snap12 for that matter? danks in advance
[EVO 4G General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Thanks, saves me the trouble of wasting my time flashing to find out it wasn't fixed. People, stop posting false information on the working gps. Unless you go for a drivedrive do not post about gps!

[EVO 4G General] paranoid android85:
lol not sure what that means, but sounds sexy
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
OK, lets get back to some valid stuff..

I had been flashing nightlys over themselves since rls 0, through 13; things were ok, but, lots of fc's with adw, and other weird stuff, like black screens for no reason, and more..

so, I did a total wipe before installing nightly 14, and it made a BIG difference; everything is back to CM "normal" for now, so, if you have been flashing nightly over nightly for several releases, you might want to consider wiping completely before doing the next one..

Also, do we have a consensus for now as to which kernel gives the best battery life? I like the newest savage/Zen combo, for gingerbread, but, I can't really tell if it gives better battery life than stock...can anyone chime in on that one?

thank you!
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
Maybe because this thread moves to fast for me when I'm working so it was probably mentioned but shinzul (creator of 4g on cm) just brought to my realization that if you uncheck "network base" GPS and only use the actual GPS, then you will have GPS functions and be able to navigate. Once again sorry if this has been posted but network GPS isn't all that important if you have actual satellite location based GPS

Are u able to get a consistent lock? Alot have reported that GPS would drop when u move after a lock even with the settings you described

[EVO 4G General] BK553:
It doesn't work. The people that think it does work:

1.) Didn't do a full wipe before coming from 6, and flashed poorly

2.) Somehow figure that testing the GPS can be done sitting at a desk, on wifi.

3.) Are running maps, but the data is cached, and therefore not pulling data from the 3G radio

4.)Are lying.

Those are the only options.
[EVO 4G General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Did you drive with your gps, if you are just getting a lock that is really nothing new.
[EVO 4G General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Wait, that is awesome. All you really need are satalites. So where do we uncheck thisthis and you are saying that google maps will then work with nav. I am flashing back if that I true!
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
Its weird, I was finally able to navigate exactly where I needed to go but the GPS icon did turn off once or twice but my GPS stayed locked on to exactly where I was at and didn't drop the whole trip. Can someone else try and see if they get the same results?
[EVO 4G General] DraginMagik:

When I first flashed cm 7 I did format all after both wipe options. The first day I was able to keep a lock from my apartment to my interview and from my interview to the starving musician. That led me to believe GPS was working. However a fee days later after a reboot I could no longer keep a lock. So I believe people who think their GPS works.
[EVO 4G General] BK553:
Yeah, I know. It can seem like it works, but testing it just a little, correctly, shows that in every case, it doesn't :( Even the tinman here admits he did a non-standard upgrade, so using his results adds absolutely nothing to the effort to try and nail down the actual problem. All he is doing is confusing people.

CM7, flashed correctly, does not have functioning GPS. No matter what he says.
[EVO 4G General] ibcenu:
I apologize in advance for this useless post

1. I never used gps on my evo .. no need, I know where I'm at.

2. I only started to care about GPS cause everyone here says it does not work

3. Sure it will be great to have it work

4. Without this issue would cut down minutes a day reading this thread and perhaps let us all focus on other things?

5. maybe someone can start an official CM7 gps does not work thread so it will unclutter this thread :D

I know where I'm at in my town, but not everyone goes to places they know everyday.

I don't mind that it doesn't work right now, and this thread is made to discuss topics like this. It's an actual issue and it gives me a break from the "where is 4g" or "where is the market, what is gapps" posts.

I'm pretty sure the thread will be updated when GPS works. What don't people understand about nightlies being development builds? Stay on CM 6.x if you want a fully functioning stable ROM.

Also, I don't think the average user is going to figure something out that the Cyanogen team hasn't.
[EVO 4G General] krazyflipj:
Ok just finished testing and flashing CM7 on top of CM6. This did not work for me. Here is what i did:

- Complete wipe

- Flashed cm 6.1 final and Froyo Gapps

- Signed into google and updated Gapps

- Get GPS lock with data and GPS on

- Once I got lock, I rebooted into recovery and flashed CM7 and GB Gapps without a wipe

I was getting a lock, but it was showing me in the ocean and bouncing to different locations. I turned off data and kept GPS on and i didn't get a lock at all.

you're correct but what keeps bringing it up is someone will say they have a work around, so then of course we should expect the next page or 2 to be about that work around, sorry if that upsets you.

Hee hee. That's why I threw that last one out there. I wasn't trying to get anybody all upset.

Everybody calm down. These devs will find a way to fix the gps thing when they get around to it. This is not a full time job for them. Remember, unless you donate, they GIVE this to you for free. Even if you donate, it is exactly that, a donation, not a compensation for an expected deliverable.

I must say though, with how things are panning out, I'm damn excited about CM7 with WiMax AND HDMI as it would seem that both are progressing nicely. I just wish that I had more money to throw around to thank you devs for the amount of sleep you lose to get this stuff working.

You don't have to call Sprint at all. It's very simple. Once you sign in with the app on your phone it'll even give you a link to put the number in the dialer you call it's *28xxxxxxxxxx, the x's being your google voice number. The thing is with Sprint you have to actually ask for a google voice number it won't work if you have only the dial in voicemail number.
